Your Washing Machine’s
Control Panel
*NOTE: Your Washing Machine has soft-touch buttons. You only need to
press these lightly to operate your machine.
You need to make sure that the program knob has been brought fully to the
STOP position before selecting a new program or changing between programs.
Function indicator lights
When the ‘START/PAUSE’ or any other function button is pressed,
the corresponding light will come on. The light goes out when the
function or ‘START/PAUSE’ Button is pressed again, or when the
washing cycle has completed.

6
Function Buttons
Rinse Hold
* NOTE: This function should be used when you’re not
going to be taking your clothes out of your washing machine
immediately after the end of a program.
This will keep wrinkles from appearing, as when the button
is pressed, the last rinsing water is not drained. Press this
button again to make it continue from the same point and
finish the cycle.
If you do not want your sensitive clothes to be spun or if you want
them to be spun gently:
1) Make sure that you turn the Program Knob to the ‘STOP’
position.
2) Then turn the Program Knob round to one of the draining or
spinning programs you want and press the ‘START/PAUSE’
button.
ÂIf the program you have selected is a drain program, your
machine will start draining the water inside it.
ÂIf you have selected a spinning program, your washing
machine will perform a spin first then end the washing
cycle.
EASY IRONING
The Easy Ironing function will make your clothes come out
less wrinkled after a washing cycle.

Washing your laundry
NOTE: (*VERY IMPORTANT*) – You must
ensure that the transportation bolts have
been removed before you attempt to use
your Washing Machine. See pages 27-29.
Only once you are sure this has been done,
can you do the following:
1) Plug in you machine
2) Turn on the water supply
Note on using your Washing Machine for the
first time:
There may be water left inside your machine after factory tests and trials.
•The first time you run a wash cycle, you should not put
laundry in your machine as it needs to clear this water out.
oPour half a measuring cup of normal or all purpose
detergent into compartment 2 in your detergent
dispenser and select the cotton program for 90
° C.
_____________________________________________________
Before Loading your Washing Machine:
•Separate your laundry between clothes of
different types (cotton, synthetic, sensitive,
woolen, etc.); the temperatures they need
to be washed at;, and how dirty they are.
•Never wash your white and coloured clothes
together.
•Since your new coloured clothes may shed
dye on the first wash; wash them
separately.
•Be careful that no metal pieces are in the
pockets of your clothes. There is the
chance of rust residues coming off and
causing stains.
•Zip-up and button your clothes.
•Remove the plastic or metal
hooks of curtains or place them
inside a washing bag and tie.
•Pull textiles like trousers, knitted
fabric, T-shirts and sweatshirts
inside out.
•Wash small clothes like socks and
handkerchiefs in a washing bag.

•REMEMBER TO READ THE LABELS ON YOUR CLOTHES

Loading your Washing
Machine
Open the door of your washing machine.
Load your clothes inside the drum one item at a
time and spread them about well.
When you shut the door of your machine, be careful
that no pieces of clothing are jammed between the
door and the gasket seal.
Shut the door of your machine tightly, otherwise
your machine will not start the washing process.
Filling your Washing Machine’s
Dispenser Drawer with Detergent
The amount of detergent you will need depends
on the following:
•You will need more detergent for washing cycles containing
dirtier clothes.
oFor very dirty clothes, select a program with pre-
washing, fill compartment 1 with ¼ of the amount of the
detergent you are putting in compartment 2.
oFor clothes that are only slightly dirty, do not pre-wash
and put only a small amount of detergent into
compartment 2 in your washing machine’s dispenser
drawer.

10
*NOTE: Only use detergents for automatic washing machines. The
amount that you will need for different washing loads and
types will be written on the packaging of your detergent.
The harder the water in your area, the more detergent
you will need to use.
SOFTENERS
9Fill the softener compartment in your detergent drawer
with softener. Do not exceed the MAX level.
Otherwise, the softener will diffuse in the washing
water through the siphon.
9Softeners with high density (thick softeners) should be
diluted with water before filling the drawer. This is
because it will block the siphon and prevent the flow of
the softener.
FLUID DETERGENTS
9You can use fluid detergents in all programs without
pre-washing. For this, move the fluid detergent level
plate in the second compartment of the detergent
drawer and pour in the amount of fluid detergent
according to the levels on this plate.
